Hi Kyle, huge fan, but I have a question that I've been thinking about. In the comics, The Marvel supervillain Graviton has the ability to control and manipulate gravity through the use of gravitons and anti-gravitons. What I want to know is, how dangerous would this actually be? Could Graviton create a black hole? The comics state that he can't change the density of objects, so could he himself become a black hole?

[@lylesmith3808]

Crazy synchronicity. While you were streaming this, I was actually in a Vesuvius/Pompei exhibition. Although the event was absolutely devastating and terrible it was really cool to see how incredibly well preserved a lot of items/frescoes/etc. were because of the near perfect isolation was from the elements. The room with some of the victims was really cool but very, very macabre and somber. There was even a guard dog!

Hey Kyle, on the subject of climate change, what would fish do? Most of the effects of climate change have been observed in the ocean. And fish's generations vary so would they be able to adapt more or what? Also coral reefs; will they eventually develop South due to heating oceans and keep doin that?

Ho kyle, I've a question for you. For some reason this morning I've think to Spongebob. No idea why... Now, we all know that if you take a bucket and you turn it upside down in order to go under water, it will provide you a small amount of oxygen. The problem is that it will become CO2 pretty fast. Now the Spongebob thing. Spongebob have a squirrel as friend, that live in a sort of glass ball that I think it work like the bucket, but she has a tree, that in my opinion help her to provide oxygen from the CO2 that she produce, watching the actual conduction of the cartoon, it would work for a squirrel? If not, how many trees would be necessary or what solution would work? Thanks a lot for your videos, sorry for the English

[@TheScorchie]

For the crabs breathing on land question. Crabs have gills that they use to breathe underwater, but they can breathe on land by keeping their gills moist to allow oxygen transfer across their surface. Their gills are surrounded by articulated plates that can essentially seal them and keep them damp, needing the odd top up now and then by a submersion. It's not dissimilar to the way that mudskippers do it. Even land crabs breathe this way and can store water in various areas about their crabby person to keep their gills damp (I'm trying to avoid saying moist... damn it, failed).

KYLE! Love the show! My daughter loves bugs too. When she was 3 years old she started observing all the bugs around the house like ants and ladybugs. Then she found a bee and tried to pick it up... it stung her finger and she said "ow, no, stop, don't do that" relatively calmly for a 3 year old lol. No stinger so I put a band-aid on her finger and she went back to playing. Now 4 years old she brought this up a couple days ago and, instead of saying that it's a bad idea to pick up bees, she told me that next time she needs to wear gloves so the bee doesn't hurt her! Such a smart kid and I hope she holds on to her love of biology. Then one day she can have a spin off KZbin series called "Because Bees".

[@AedalinSolaris]

Jason Pislaan white is fine when paired with other colors but for a competitive meta it lacks card draw and ramp which debilitates it’s ability to be played alone. There are specific decks that are mono white that can be played, mainly in older formats where ramp isn’t as necessary, and even then those decks require you to build it to stop the opponent from playing as normal, to slow them down.

Hi, all. Middle school Latin teacher, here. According to an article in the Smithsonian magazine, Sept 2019, Vesuvius erupted sometime around mid-October. While August was attested by Pliny, cold weather clothes found on bodies, post-harvest foods found in clay pots, and recently-discovered graffiti dated in October realigns our understanding of autumn having been well under way when the eruption preserved everything and everyone. And now let's all continue watching our favorite handsome science communicator.

[@soidz4569]

In regards to the egg challenge, my Scout Troop was one of the few who succeeded that challenge. We did so in a similar manner to what Kyle suggested, by using a large number of straws we painstakingly created a large number of triangles (it was basically triangles with an egg in the middle) around the egg and specifically dropped the egg so that it would land on its ovular, rounded "base" if you will. This is because triangles and ovals, as any engineer (and Bill Nye, that one episode) will attest to, are the strongest shapes because they equally distribute force when it is applied to them. It is why an egg on its own can hold up objects like bricks, that apply enormous amounts of weight (force) onto the egg despite its own relatively minuscule weight. Triangles are used all over the engineering world for much the same reason. On a somewhat related note, if you look at armor throughout history such as Renaissance Gothic plate armor or even as far back as Roman shields you will notice that they often curve much like the shape of an oval -- the chest pieces in particular. This is a big reason to what made getting through these so difficult and motivated technology to pointer, sharper and more energy backed weaponry. Because as Kyle has spoken of in the past, in order to separate a material (object? Sorry, not well versed in science) you require a certain amount of force behind an object. This is what makes even something seemingly as insignificant as a 9 mm bullet so deadly and also why musket balls *turned* into pointed bullets. Because the curvature would cause blows to disperse their energy while also increasing the time it would take for an attack to stop as the weapon would likely follow the curve rather than stop once it hit like a flat shield would. As an additional fact, early black powder weaponry like the arquebus balls were known to be stopped by the very effective plate armor of the time. This is partly the reason why cuirasses (hence the name Cuirassiers -- cavalry with cuirasses, not infantry though some such as Conquistadors did have them) didn't go away until basically modern warfare. Because due to the curved nature of the armor (in combination with its quality) it would disperse the energy of the shot throughout the armor. Something that would make piercing very difficult. So there you go! That egg challenge has helped you understand concepts as simple as falling eggs to as complicated as stopping (or slowing) bullets and keeping up colossal buildings such as skyscrapers! (Please correct me if I am wrong on these, I'm no specialist with these by any measure)

I just think it's a function of your environment (who are the people you spend time with) and force of the habit. Some people exercice more restraint in swearing because of their socio-economic environment, like work relations, family, church, having kids and not wanting to swear in front of them etc. And on the other hand if you're with people who swear a lot or just somewhere where swearing is not frowned upon, it's easy to get carried away. I used to swear a lot, and the more you do the more you do. And when I was with people I shouldn't swear in front of (like business relations or family with kids) it was extremely hard to not let a few swears slip out ...

[@SeraphtheFallen]

just a note on your discussion about Caldera volcanos, they are defined by being essentially a 'capped' crater or depression that is often filled with water. What makes these volcanos so dangerous is the fact that when they erupt they release huge amounts of pressure. they are most commonly understood to have formed by exploding their own volcanic cones. MY favorite example of such is lake Taupo in New Zealand (its largest lake and a caldera volcano). Though stable throughout most of the rotorua volcanic zone, studies show that taupo is capable of erupting. the resulting detonation as it blasts the lake bottom appart instantly flash boiling millions of litres of water is believed to be potentially cataclysmic enough to essentially 'delete' the north island and jetison debris as far as Australia. not to mention the ash cloud, and earthquakea that would accompany such an eruption

Here’s a question that’s been in the back of my mind for a while, wondering what your thoughts are: Have we, as a species, stopped evolving? Let me elaborate. While medical advances allowing us to prolong our lifespan and allow those with diseases to live more comfortable and fulfilling lives, are we holding ourselves back? I wonder with all our technology and understanding of what’s out there have we inadvertently sabotaged our own evolution in the process? As far as I’ve seen we haven’t really changed much biologically over the course of history. Take from that what you will, I look forward to your next episode.

[@matthewdaltrey4676]

Its unlikely we'll change much more except for small things that happen randomly. People with all sorts of conditions or features that otherwise would have proven fatal or prevented them from mating are now living long enough to reproduce, or finding methods of reproduction. The driving force of evolution is that fitter individuals breed to produce an animal better suited to its environment; a feature must be advantageous or detrimental to disperse through the population or disappear entirely. The way humans now live, neither an advantageous or detrimental mutation massively impacts reproduction chances. TL;DR: probably no significant evolutionary events will occur as long as humans live like we do.

Egg drop: make a paper cone. Put egg in cone. Drop. Pointy edge becomes crumple zone, wide end increases drag and thus slows the whole contraption. Egg rests relatively near the pointy end of the cone which gives it balance and makes sure it hits the ground point first. There you go.

Shoved the egg in the tube and surrounded it with the TP. Taped up both ends. Mine was the ONLY one to survive the drop. I only got a C however because my teacher knew exactly what I did. Still passed though and that's enough. Edit: It's not cheating. It's research!

That was 1 letter from an "f" bomb. I laughed so hard. Thank you for transparency and not editing out the almost swear. (While remaining family friendly)

They most likely left it in because this was a live people already saw him do that no turning back now lmao.

I always have some confusion when many people talk about perpetual motion machines. The general idea behind them as far as I understand it is you start it moving and it doesn't stop on it's own. It always seems like they are trying to talk about a lossless system. Where as everyone keeps talking about it as an infinite energy system which are very much so not the same thing. So lets say you have a wheel. If it is an infinite energy system. Then you get it spinning and then you just hook up a bunch of gears off of it to spin up generator and get as much energy as you want from it. Which doesn't make sense logically to be able to exist. If you remove energy from a system. Then there is less there no way around that without putting more in. Now a wheel that doesn't stop moving on it's own. You spin it up and it is left alone for 1000 year. It is still spinning at the same speed it was 1000 years ago. In a sense you would have a lossless battery. You add in kinetic energy and it stays in at the exact same level. I don't know. It just seems to me people are thinking what basically describes a lossless battery would give infinite energy. Which has never made sense to me. Maybe I am just equating the wheel based fake ones with fly wheels or something.

That f bomb drop and the reaction; priceless.

I built an egg drop device where made a little bag or harness for me egg. Then I took sewing elastic (like what you'd put in the waist of pajama pants) and attached it on 6 points of the harness. From those points, I ran it, tight, but not stretched, to the center point of each side of a cardboard box and attached it firmly. The egg could bounce around inside and it messed with my classmates because the box basically had nothing in it, but the egg JUST WOULDN'T BREAK!

I had the egg challenge in architecture school. The rules was were: The egg must be visible from outside the apparatus The apparatus couldn't be a parachute I put the egg inside a plastic bottle of gelatin that had approximately the same density as the egg. The bottle splashed and there was gelatin all over the place, but the egg was ok.

I read somewhere that there was a town much closer to the volcano. It got pulverized so fast that people have no time to react what was happening.

[@KanoKrone]

You gota give it to him it is pretty impressive how he can put down all those notes Backwards on that Void.

[@assualtcrab]

The mention of the old egg challenge makes me want to see Kyle and PeterSripol team up for some hands on science shenanigans.

10:05 Its the same as if we had our lungs outside our body. There needs to be a constant moisture content for the lungs to function. Spiders have book lungs that can work in dry environments as well as humid.

I decided to look it up and there already is a Hill equation in biochemistry used to describe the binding of ligands to macromolecules. Although it’s named after A.V. Hill. There is also a Hill-Robertson effect, but I did not see a just hill effect/ theory so those are options that seem available.

[@robertnett9793]

About the eggdrop challenge: we did this back in - google suggests - professional school (the school I went to during my apprenticeship) and wie managed to built a pretty lightweight parachute while surrounding the egg with some rolled up paper as bumpers. Should stay below 300g I think.

I've seen Hiromi live before. She performed at my college. Normally I'm not too into jazz, but her music is absolutely amazing!

I'm from a caribbean island (a volcanic one too), and know some dumbest things about crustacean (crayfishes, crabs and lobsters), they have pockets inside the head (rostrum) that keep a supply of water to keep gills drench in water outside water (for mating travels mostly, and until most part of the oxygen is consummed), like a human using oxygen bottle for diving in water (exact opposite), or a submarine with ballast (exact similarity but in opposite medium). And has they have pretty durable exoskeletons highly composed with calcium carbonate, which make even the smallest crustacean capable to sustain a hell lot of pressure compare to his size (large ones have it thick, while small doesn't really need it cause less surface exposed to pressure), cause they can go find food real... deep... in ocean floor, they also called "ocean garbage collector" due to this matter of fact (they tend to scavenge on dead sea creatures), That also why it recommended to remove the digestive tract recognizable by its very dark color (due to nature of the food ingest) in order to cook them ... Love the show, and knows a thing or two about "pyroclastic flows" and not very surprised to learn there are some Pompei inhabitant corpses... somwhere... with... candy (apple) brains!!! XC

😂😂😂 Whoever corrected his spider leg count, thanks! That made me laugh

[@stormagheddondarklordofall7171]

For the Egg drop challenge, a key thing to keep in mind is the direction the egg impacts. Eggs are not spheres and are stronger at the top (the point part). If the egg lands on its side its more likely to crack than if it lands vertically. I would use a self correcting design for something to be dropped such as the Crew capsule from the apollo rockets. Edit: In regards to perpetual motion even in zero friction you wouldnt be able to have infinite energy because of forces such as magnetic forces and eddy currents causings what is essentially drag on the moving device when a load is applied.

Golden Orb spider has highest tensile strength. Thank you PBS!

[@ashleyking6743]

Peter Sripol did an egg drop with Mathew Osman and he made a foam board helicopter that autorotates and the egg lands really smooth. Super lightweight build as well.

[@rmac7693]

Im still laughing at "Ah Fuc...shi....frig.....😶 .....whoa" Nice catch brother.

Crabs have gills, they work on land as long as they are kept moist.
